7:22 build speed: strides, hill reps 10:22 build endurance: long run, weekly mileage (volume) and overall consistenc 12:43 race-specific fitness (speed+endurance) the type of fitness you need to run your goal pace for the race you're training for. Training plan, progressing from general baseline fitness to specific. Every workout by itself means very little.
I improved my 5k time on day 182 of my running streak, a week after I improved mij half marathon top time with 6 minutes. The day before I did a 24km long run. Just for a little background. During training I never can push myself enough to go for any records and this was only my 3rd 5k I've entered.
Hey Gomez.....everyone loves a comeback story, and nothing makes a day, week, month, or year go great when you know you stepped out on the course and blow the brakes off of people half your age. Get in there, train like hell, and go claim some scalps. Along the way, you’ll even surprise yourself of how fast you can get even when pushing 60.
Yes. Progression is slower as is recovery. So training should be modified accordingly. There are plenty of people in the 55-59 bracket at my Parkrun who regularly run sub 17 5ks.
Every time I do 100m repeats my next run is easier. Definitely good to include 100m and 400m repeats. Take it easy, 4 reps is plenty to start and build from there.
My son is 14 he has been running from the age of 7. His first half was 11 or 12 I forget, but his first half win was at 14 yrs old. Here is the thing he has some trouble running 5ks and cross country for his school. I am happy I listened to your video and having him listen to it. Hopefully what you are talking about will help him run the little races lol. MY sons best 5k is 17 minutes and this is the same for cross country
farmer DC 17 minute 5K is great, very great at that age! Keep patient. Don't get a big head if he is already faster than all the juniors and seniors, don't get downtrodden if there are younger kids faster than him. He is still very very young, and at this age I have seen kids who were average in their respective sport grow phenomenally into a great athlete and I have seen the reverse.
I'm curious about your thoughts about doing a fast(well goal of 23 min for me anyway) 5k with only 4 weeks of training following a 15k? Any suggestions?

Thank you sir... learned something new today...
Too much fluff. Get to the point sooner would be nice. Otherwise, good advise! Thanks!

Hills/strides/long run
I have 59 years my best time in 5k is 17:48. Need help to be better but, my age is a problem to get better????
Yes, you're best bet is to get 30 years younger.

That is really fast in my opinion. Kudos to those that can do it at that age.

How do you know the distance you’re running outside?

Most decent GPS watches are accurate enough for us amateurs 👍. If one has serious goals nothing beats your local track.

As a father, I can say that toddlers are terrible at running 5ks.
so your friend also ran a 16min/5k while hangover?
Pretty much. He pulled to the side with a lap to go (as a 14:52 guy, pacing me for a 16:02 was easy).
